Walk of Life
Bhi Bhiman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet loving woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story
Hand me down my walking shoes
Here comes Johnny with the power and glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day

He do the song about the sweet loving woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning the night time into day
And after all the violence and double talk




There's just a song in all the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life

Saw Bhi for the first time in Madison, Wi with Chris Cornell.  Outstanding, uplifting music.  We drove 8 hours to the show and were blown away!  Like I told Bhi after the show, "Nobody told me I should be listening to you."  Great guy and musician!!!!!
